Davis slade is known for his directing of dark films, he has directed hard candy, 30 days of night & the twilight saga eclipse one of his most famous films. He also has directed music videos for the steriophonics, muse and many more. The films i know of him directing are the vampires films 30 days of night and eclipse.David was born in 1969 in the UK but has gone on to direct american films and some worldwide phenominan films. Davids first film was hard candy, i have never seen this film but here is the trailer.
Davids second film was 30 says of night. I have seen this film and it is very dark and gloomy, but it is like this becasue it is a vampire film but this film is also very gory and there are a lot of blood and guts involved in this vampire film. Although i did like it but it is a bit to dark for what i like but it did interest me and make me jump and suprisingly i also cried.
His third film is the film that i know him best for due to that this is one of my all time favourite films. The twilight saga eclipse, i would say this is probably one of his most famous films he has directed due to that it is a saga and there are zillions of screaming girls worldwide that love this film, he has become globally known for directiing this film and i think he could have a good career ahead of him if he continues to direct films with vampires or wherewolves in due to that they have become very popular after the first twilight film.
All of David Slades movies are very dark from what i have seen of them, this is why they hired him to direct the Twilight Saga Eclipse because they wanted a 'Dark Director'. I think his influences may be his love for vampires & darkness, his film Hard Candy is about a young girl who meets a photographer online, she suspects he is a paedophile and trys to expose him. This is obviously a very dark and disturbing storyline but it probably helped a lot of people realise that there are dangerous people out there like this, and thats what i think he was trying to put across to people.
The Twilight Saga Eclipse is also a very big film, vampire films have never been as popular as they are now. One of the popular vampire films i watched and one of the first vampire films i have watched was 'Lost Boys'. I think that film had to influence David Slade in some way to make him want to direct Eclipse. As Eclipse is the darkest film out of the whole saga i think he fitted perfectly into the part of the director. I think the lost boys probably influenced David Slade because it was more his era of time when it was released.
